<h1>India Bans Import of Single-Use Plastics from July 1, 2022, under Instruction No. 09/2022-Customs.</h1> The Ministry of Finance, Government of India, issued Instruction No. 09/2022-Customs on June 22, 2022, detailing restrictions on importing plastic products. The directive aligns with the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, and its amendments, which mandate that from July 1, 2022, the import, manufacture, and sale of certain single-use plastics (SUPs) are prohibited. These include items like plastic earbuds, plates, cups, and cutlery. Additionally, carry bags must be at least 120 microns thick by December 31, 2022. Importers must register on a centralized portal and adhere to extended producer responsibility obligations. The directive urges customs officers to enforce these restrictions and seize non-compliant imports.
